There’s a fic on fanfiction(.)net that I’ve kept tabs on for years to see if it’s been updated or not. While I’m no longer even in the fandom it’s written for, it just has one of the greatest storylines I’ve ever read. Last time it was updated was 2011.

The other day, I decided to reread the entire thing and leave a very in-depth review of what I thought of each chapter. I also mentioned how I started reading it when I was 13 and am now 21, but always came back to see if it was ever finished because I loved it so dearly.

Today, said author sent me a private message saying that her analytics showed that the story was still getting views even after all these years, but no one ever bothered to leave reviews other than “update soon!!!”, so she never felt motivated enough to finish it. She said that me reviewing every single chapter with lengthy paragraphs made her cry and meant the world to her. She also mentioned that she felt encouraged to write the two remaining chapters needed to complete the story and that she would send me a message the night before she updates the fic.

I’m literally sobbing. I’m so excited :’)

Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.

this is so fucking lovely

Reblog the writers’ fortune cookie for luck!

Guys I reblogged this and then wrote an 8000 word story I didn’t even have a solid plan for. Reblog this shit.

Please, great fortune cookie of writing. I beg of you.

I need this right now man!

Another commission for the lovely Tillman, of his character Lilith. A character I’ve previously painted.  Photoshop CS5 & Wacom Intuos 5.

Every writer on Tumblr: “I would combust out of love if someone ever drew fanart of my fic!!” Me: “oh man I wanna draw this scene BUT THEY WOULD PROBABLY HATE IT AND HATE ME FOR THE NERVE”

Dear artists.

We, the writers, will accept any of your fan arts.

We don’t care if it looks like shit to you, or you think your art skills are not good enough.

We will love any fan art, because it’s the most beautiful way to say “I love what you write”.

^^^^^^^^^

My friends, you could present me with stick figures of a scene from something of mine you read and I’d want to hug you to death. 

PLEASE

Yes. A thousand times yes.

Is the opposite also true? Do artists love it when writers are inspired to write a fic based on their work?

^^^ this!!! It’s my biggest dream to have someone love my writing enough to want to draw it lol. That’s part of why I signed up for the saubb lmaoo

Honestly I’d be gobatopped with glee

Someone DID present me with stick figures once. They were GLORIOUS and I still love them!

I would cry tears of deep, deep joy if someone drew something from one of my fics. Like. I would just be so overwhelmed with love and happiness.

Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.

Seriously, this is what keeps us going; YOUR COMMENTS. 

And you think my ranting about it is just being salty! It’s not! Reviews can mean the difference between feeling motivated and feeling out of place.

It’s how I finished a fic after it sitting unfinished for half a year. Got a long ass review that gave me ideas and then I wrote the last chapter.

fanfic readers, never underestimate the power of your comments. every single one makes a writer’s heart skip. every. single. one.

ATTENTION: For anyone who reads fanfiction without leaving feedback

Here’s a few things you should know:

Fanfiction is a gift. 

Fanfiction is hard to write. 

Fanfiction is free. 

Please. 

No matter how much time you have, even just clicking the kudos button takes less than a second. And if you have time to read 5k words at one go, it’s no stretch at all to take a few more seconds to type ‘good job!’ or ‘i loved this!’ in the comment box and hit send. 

Still not convinced?

1. IF YOU’RE EMBARRASSED / SHY,

Fic authors LOVE hearing from you. Don’t worry about whether you think you’re going to phrase your response well. That’s literally the last thing we care about. Just knowing that you had a good time with something we made is EVERYTHING to us.

2. IF YOU STILL JUST DON’T SEE THE POINT,

I have a very special challenge for you, my friend.

Write a fic.

Go forth, and write a complete, well-structured, well-characterised fic with organic, stimulating dialogue interwoven into a proper, fully fleshed-out storyline. 

Publish your work for all the Internet to see.

And then get back to me.

I myself am actually very shy, though that may be hard to believe. I’m surprising myself here by putting my work out there on a regular basis for all to see.

I understand not wanting to comment. Not having the time, etc. I really do. But I greatly appreciate it :)

Adding to this because of @illogicalilse‘s tags “ #*steeples fingers in-front of face*#i’ve read fanfiction longer than all of these “

“Over 150,000 words = Epic Fanfiction”

Yeah, what do you call 400k?

Insanity

@devcon03 I remember you were wondering about this.

friendly reminder that fanfic authors write full length novels for free, and all most of us ask in return is exposure in the form of recommendations, reblogs, and feedback

Not just full length novels, but full-length BOOK SERIES. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stones was 76,944 words. Eragon was 157k words The Hobbit was 95,022.words (and yes, those 22 at the end are very important words~) Anyway, please PLEASE review, comment, and share the fanfictions you like. These authors are, for free, giving you hours and hours and hours of entertainment. Thank them.

Reminder to give fanfic authors all the love!

Fuck, I’ve written a novel and I ain’t even done yet….
